The Happy Life of a Duchess

The Duke's father knew that Adele was investigating the matter of the farm, but if she ordered it to go ahead and drive out a group of people, she might suffer some criticism. In the final analysis, it was still discrimination and criticism against women, although these came from the bottom His words were not painful, but he still didn't want his daughter to take such a risk.

With the seal of Mr. Duke, it means that this is his own decision, no matter what he made the list based on, but in short, he made the decision, and those of them dare not criticize the Duke— —

Even if there is, he doesn't care about it.

Adele was grateful for his protection, and she did not refuse her father's kindness.

With the name of the duke's father, it is much easier for her to do things, and it is much more convenient than doing things by herself.

Adele actually didn't mind that much about their private transactions that were carried out without the knowledge of the master's family.

People are selfish, not to mention those of them who have already established a family and have important family partners, it is understandable that they want to think more about themselves and their relatives and friends.

But this is definitely not a reason for them to betray her and violate their loyalty to the family, nor is it a reason for them to laugh at and hide at will just because she is just a single lady.

It wasn't entirely crystal clear that she could understand these things.But all tolerance and forgiveness have a limit, and once that line is exceeded, she will follow the procedure without mercy.

Those who should be kicked out will naturally be kicked out, no matter what reason they have to betray her.

For several days in a row, Adele took Helen and cutie together, wandering around.

She was in a rare happy mood, and everything about the farm was going smoothly.

After talking with Mrs. Daumier, she expressed her willingness to accept Adele's idea of ​​building a new handmade cloth workshop - with the help of Mrs. Daumier, and a few people chosen by Adele herself , it seems that everything can be carried out very smoothly, at least there is already a little bit of it.

"What time is it?"

The Duke came back in a hurry.

"It's time for dinner." Adele reminded her father. Mr. Duke seemed to be too busy and even forgot the time. He stared at Adele for a few seconds, and then sighed.

"I've eaten. After you finish eating, come to the study."

"Okay." Adele nodded.

"What could it be?" Although she was guessing this way in her heart, in fact, following the Duke's father's words, she had already passed several possibilities in her mind.

"Miss, the Duval family has sent another gift."

Mrs. Lude came to her side and reminded her in a low voice.

During this period of time, although Mr. Duval said that he wanted to listen to their conclusions, in fact there is no and will not be any other possible answer. He is quite confident about this, and of course it must be done within this short period of time. Express a corresponding attitude.

He would send some gifts almost every day, or more interesting gadgets, or relatively expensive jewelry. It's the things he sent over, and I like them more.

"I see."

A smile appeared on Adele's face.

Not everything came in the name of a private person, some were in the name of Morgana, some were in the name of the family, and of course some were privately owned by Duval.

The delivery is not very hidden, because it is not necessary, but it is not very obvious, after all, there is no need to make a big fanfare.

But in short, everyone knows that this is for Adele, although sometimes other people are brought along, especially Mr. Duke, but the core purpose is still for the beautiful lady.

"What is it?"

Adele was still unavoidably curious, and even seemed a little restless when eating.

"It's better for you to dismantle it yourself."

Mrs. Rudder gave a little good-natured smile.

Compared with other letters that may fall into the trap, when Duval sends things, he is really just sending things. Sometimes there will be greeting cards, the kind with greetings written on them, and more often there will be nothing, just like giving gifts generally.

This is not surprising. Everyone is waiting for the last voice, the answer from Mr. Duke after consideration.

"Dad, I'm coming in."

Adele knocked on the door and entered.

The Duke sat where he always sat, with a subtle expression on his face, but nothing else could be said.

He watched Adele walk in, and after the initial daze and confusion of memory, he showed Adele's usual kind and loving expression.

Adele instantly understood what he wanted to say.

She didn't show anything on her face, although she was a little happy in her heart, she still couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

"dad."

She stood in front of the desk with her hands folded on her stomach in front of her.

"Sit down, sit down."

He seemed to have been awakened suddenly, stood up from his seat, then hunched over and walked towards the sofa.

He also wanted to straighten his back, but as he grew older, he no longer had the suave look.

"I'm old." He waved his hand, gesturing for Adele to sit down.

"Dad..." Adele was a little speechless, but the Duke's father had already found a suitable reason for himself after experiencing some initial or longer struggles. He figured it out—— It's not that kind of young and willful age, nor is it that kind of novice father, who has already married several daughters.

"Let's take a look first." The Duke handed her something like a document on the table, "I know you're a smart girl, and you should know what I'm going to say today, but as a father, I always hope My child is happy, so there are still necessary procedures, I don't want any mistakes because of your trust or others, after all, marriage is a lifelong event.",

This is a survey of Mr. Duvall's life, especially filling in the part about his youth that Adele is not very clear about.

Everything from his birth was recorded on a few pieces of paper, as well as the various contents that Mr. Duke specially sent to C City to investigate, and even the evaluation of him by his classmates when he was studying.

"It's amazing..."

Adele sighed.

"Look carefully. I've gone through this carefully several times. Maybe you and I see things from different angles. I don't see any problem. Maybe you can find something when you look at it... In short, everything If there is something wrong, we can discuss it from the beginning." The Duke's father's voice was full of kindness, and after he figured it out, a smile appeared on his face.

"I understand, I will read it carefully."

Adele nodded with a smile, eyes full of trust.

"Then keep reading."

It took about ten minutes, and after Adele carefully read them all, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, I think he's fine." She concluded this, and Mr. Duke's expression was not surprising.

"Okay." He paused and said yes again.

After a little disappointment, Mr. Duke talked to her about the future arrangements.

"You have always been a girl with your own opinions. Since you came back to Paris, I am very happy to see your growth and progress. In my memory, you are still a small and thin girl. It is really amazing to have such a dazzling side now. Happy, really."

"I'm also very glad that before I was buried, I was able to watch with my own eyes and send you to the hands of a gentleman you like and who is reliable."

"Although I was very angry at the beginning that you kept dating him without telling me, I was foolishly fooled by that 'scheming' 'stinky boy'. I didn't expect him to have so many gossips in his heart... But after checking it out, it's true. Everything about it was better than I thought it would be, and I'm glad he's a decent guy indeed."

"I sincerely hope that you can do the same in the future, and he can do the same in the future. Stick to the promise you made, and treat you well for the rest of your life. Your child, your husband, and everything in your future will be very smooth." He sighed With a sound, there is already heat in the eyes.

"I can't see all this. I know my body." He waved his hand to signal her not to be nervous.

"But it's still enough to send you to the church. Maybe you can see your little grandson appear, maybe you can hug your child. If he is born, I will definitely give him a manor!"

Having said that, he became happy again, and he looked like he was dancing.

He envisions a lovely future for himself, and he truly believes that it will happen, and his precious daughter will be happy.

Adele also smiled and didn't say much.

She was already very satisfied to be able to make her father, who was in a state of depression, happy.

"Speaking of this matter, since Duval has already proposed marriage to me, I will choose a day tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, choose a time, and formally reply to him. After this matter is settled, I will first arrange some agreements with him , also to ensure that you won't be really wronged after you get married."

"I can't really let him take my daughter's large dowry and squander it at will, or spend it all on his other two children, so that my daughter will suffer a lot."

He smiled, with a bit of complacency on his face:

"I will discuss every point with him carefully, and I will also bring along a reliable lawyer I know. At that time, if he refuses to agree, we will procrastinate. After all, he is the one who is worried, not me. Yes, don't worry, your marriage will not be delayed."

"But if this is the case, are you planning to announce it to the public?" Adele showed a thoughtful expression.

"That's right, but this ball should be prepared by your great father, and you can't let it all come by yourself. Don't worry, the housekeeper understands." He comforted her.

The two parties who are engaged need to hold a dance party to announce such a happy news to the public.

Mr. Duke boldly stated that he would handle everything by himself, Adele thought about it and told him not to work too hard.

"No, no." He shook his head.

"This is my last chance and possibility."

Although the slightly sad words were said with a smile, Adele felt very uncomfortable all of a sudden.

She stepped forward and hugged her father tightly, and Mr. Duke also patted her on the back gently.

"Hey, my baby girl..."

He sighed softly, and Adele felt her eyes warm up, and buried her face in his shoulder.
